Yesterday I had nothing Didn't know whether I've amount to something I had holes in my shoes and in my clothes Only yesterday I was just a boy living amongst children A really guitar that I could play with I would pretend that anything could happen That was yesterday That was yesterday That was yesterday No matter how far I've come Still know where I'm from, oh-oh Never let it slip away Still trying to figure out What the game is all about, oh-oh So I take it day by day by day Yesterday no one was listening But today it's gonna be different They couldn't hear my voice under the suffering That was yesterday Yesterday I had no direction In my mind I had nothing but questions I could've never dreamed of what would happen That was yesterday That was yesterday That was yesterday No matter how far I've come Still know where I'm from, oh-oh Never let it slip away Still trying to figure out The game is all about, oh-oh So I take it day by day by day Yesterday I was hoping Today the future's wide open I was lost and the signs in my mind That was yesterday ♪ That was yesterday That was yesterday That was yesterday, oh That was yesterday That was yesterday That was yesterday
